Legend says that the hippogryph was the offspring of a centaur and gryphon, a cursed match, leading to a cursed child. It parents were smote down for their hubris, leaving the baby alone in the world. Rejected by both races, the child was left out in the Wilds alone where it lost any sentience it might have once held and became a feral creature.
From there, the lonely creature mixed in with other magical beings in the Wilds and became colourful and further wild. Or so says the legends.
Today the hippogryph is a vicious creature, prone to attacking any perceived threat, no matter it's actual abilities. This isn't to say that hippogryphs are unintelligent; they are remarkably smart and very clever. It's difficult to trap them, and even harder to control them.
Hippogryphs live mostly in the Wilds, though some do live on the East coast in the cliffs near the water.
